In the heart of New York City's bustling metropolis, Central Park's 36-acre Ramble is a bird watcher's paradise, where more than 270 species have been spotted in a single year. With New York being located along one of North America's busiest migratory routes, the spring months are an ideal time to spot the city's avian visitors on their trip north.

Journey with wildlife artist and illustrator Alan Messer to some of the most magical places in Central Park's wooded Ramble, discovering along the way both resident and migrating birds. Walks are limited to 35 guests per tour.

During the April walks through Central Park's Ramble, we will search for resident, late winter, and early migrants, including common birds at feeders. Chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, finches, and sparrows may be seen at this time.

Alan Messer is a wildlife artist and illustrator of books, field guides, and periodicals. He is a former president of the Linnaean Society of New York. Mr. Messer's illustrations are included in the exhibition, Focus on Nature XI, on view at The New York Museum, Albany, New York from April 12 through October 31, 2010. His paintings may be viewed at alanmesser.net.

Additional Notes:We are the last two people left. We escaped the end of civilization in a time machine only to land in a very lonely future. We created our own version of TV to entertain ourselves, but soon were discovered by a time traveling audience from the year 2010. They left. Now we want more. We are female. We are funny. We are your future. Get in that time machine and be the next ones to see us unleash a mind-melting cloudburst of characters on Channel One. Wed 6/29 @ 7pm, Fri 7/1 @ 5pm, & Sat 7/2 @ 9pm
